This goes against making it harder as Peter Levine writes;
What if you made it harder?
Which camp is your doctor in? Or more importantly, your insurance?
I'm firmly in the harder camp, in order to recover you need repetitions and lots of them. This allows sedentary behavior which is not helpful in your recovery.
Gesture-control wearable inspired by a stroke survivor puts the power switch on your wrist
Imagine being able to turn off the alarm clock, start the coffee pot or flip a light switch with a simple arm movement.That’s the vision Playtabase has for the new wearable it’s developed with people who have limited mobility in mind.
Called Reemo, the device is a wrist-worn band that interprets movements into gestures and communicates the corresponding commands to a software system via Bluetooth. The software then communicates with the electronic devices that have been linked to it through receivers.
Playtabase was one of three winners of the AgePower Tech Search initiative, a competition sponsored by senior housing nonprofit Ecumen and business growth engine MOJO Minnesota. For winning, the startup will get to work with MOJO on its business strategy and run a six-month pilot with Ecumen customers.
